Life on the Fast Track

I've been trying to prepare myself for the working world and I honestly don't know what I'm doing. I've done a lot of research trying to find companies where I could start at the bottom of the food chain and work my way up but I really feel that I'm behind in everything. Most companies want experience... well since I recently changed my major (last year) and I've been taking on too many units plus holding a chair in my sorority... I haven't exactly had much time to think about working. Besides, I'm in SB. There are virtually no PR firms in the genre I'm looking for up here. It's all medical businesses really. *sigh* so I'm left with no experience in actual companies to start off when I graduate. This should be fun. I hope I find some place that will give me the opportunity to prove myself. I know I learn very quickly and can multitask like crazy. I work hard and seldom complain about anything. If someone gives me a project, I do it without question. I know I can work my way up from say getting people's coffee orders and answering phone calls. If that is where I have to start out. I just am not sure if I'll find anyplace since the working world is so competitive right now. I guess I'll just have to get my name out there and be persistent. I hope I find something that resonates well with me. Wish me luck! I need it :/

On that note, this quarter has started off with a bang. There's been plenty of drama circling around and it's only the beginning of week 3! Unfortunately, I've gotten involved in some of it but what can you do right? I must say I've been rendered speechless a few times because I just don't understand what exactly some people are thinking. I'm not even sure if they were thinking. There's just one thing that's been bothering me for the past few days. I hate to complain about it but sometimes this girl just irritates the hell out of me. Here's my stupid drama story:
So my big and I butt heads all the time. Sometimes I wonder how we exactly got matched up at all. We are COMPLETE opposites. At least I can say I've learned a lot... but she completely disrespects me at times and I'm sick and tired of telling her to think before she acts or says things. For example, one time she called me a cunt... and i was like wtf? why would you say that? ... to ANYONE?! But I digress... On saturday we had a HUGE volleyball tournament which we've been practicing for for quite some time. Last week on wednesday we had practice and my big shows up late (again) and in a bitchy mood. I told her some of the guys next door were coming to scrimmage with us so we could get better practice and she just said "F this i'm not playing when they come." I told her that this was part of our practice and if she wanted to play saturday she had to stay. (I mean really you can't just bail like that. That is not teamwork.) So she just walked away and I just said whatever she doesn't care enough. Then later she told me she was getting sick so she wouldn't be playing saturday and to get someone to fill her spot. So, I started thinking of who could cover for her. Well, that night (even though she was "sick") she went out with some girls and partied... then the next night she did the same thing. Then friday we had one more practice and she told me she was going to urgent care because she wasn't feeling well. By this time I had already found her replacement so I didn't care. Yet, later that night I was out with some friends at a party and guess who shows up... my big! I flipped out. Seeing her out that night and for the 3rd night in a row gave me the impression that she a) was feeling alright and b) she really didn't care about the tournament. I'm telling you if this was an actual club team and my coach saw me out the night before a tournament after telling her I was sick, I'd be kicked off the team before i could even apologize for being stupid. Then the next morning before our first game she shows up and asks me why she wasn't playing... ???? I couldn't even say a word. I was absolutely in shock that she had the nerve to say that. Then she preceded to get pissed at me and didn't say a word for the rest of the day... in fact, I still haven't heard a word from her. Really, she has no right to be angry with me after her behavior. She lied to me several times, gave me attitude about practices, showed up late during every practice, actually told me she wasn't playing, and went out all week when she claimed to be ill. Oh and by the way I heard from people she went out friday and saturday night as well. So much for being sick. The least she could have done was support my decision as head of this philanthropy chair and as her little. It's not like I told her she couldn't play because I was mad at her. That was not the case. I was being diplomatic thinking about the team as a whole. Also, I believe I made the right decision based on the above occurrences.

Anyways, so that is my story about some drama. In hindsight it's stupid but I just hate liars. and I hate lazy people. There is nothing respectable about those qualities. If you can call them that. It's disrespectful and obnoxious. But I shall end my dramafest reflections for now. I'm sure there will be plenty more to come seeing as how we have a soccer tournament this coming weekend and a relay week the week after. Oh, I will have lots of fun :)

I must say that I volunteered for the Teddy Bear Cancer Foundation yesterday and had a blast. It was family fun day to raise money and it was up at a ranch in SB. The kids were adorable and everyone had a blast. I hope I can do that again soon. I really enjoyed allowing these kids to forget about their troubles and have fun for a day.

Time to be productive again.
